Promotional "Headline"

"As a teacher, and now teacher educator, I understand the complexity of teaching and the difficulty of enacting change in one's practice--such as shifting to STEAM teaching. The authors of this book do due diligence in unpacking this complexity and discussing specific barriers teachers and schools might face in this undertaking. More importantly, they provide inspiration to sustain readers through this challenging work by emphasizing the rewards for both students and educators who engage in STEAM education." From the Foreword by Deborah Hanuscin, Western Washington University
